Turbine Delta

This was my first Turbine Powered model.  The basic design of this model was taken from the RPV \ UAV models I designed some years before.  The model uses a foam wing covered in 1/64” plywood.  The center rear of the body was a molded fiberglass part 7-1/2” in diameter.  The front cockpit section was carved out of pink foam and then covered in fiber glass cloth and epoxy resin.  The foam was then revmoved from the foam.  Custom made retracts were constructed by Light Flite Products.  Next to the Sim Jet 2250 turbine the retract were the most expensive part of this model..
